Escapism is the inclination to pursue distraction from realities, particularly by engaging in fantasy. There is a fine line between our hidden desires and the denial of the demands of everyday life. For some, escapism invites them into a world where they can express themselves free from the constrictions of reality. Others can be tempted to get lost in the addictive fantastical worlds. Through painting and textile, I share insight into my domestic life as well as providing a glimpse into my fantasy worlds that draw me in and pull me away from my mundane obligations. Knowing that these worlds are there for me, just beyond the periphery, gives me reassurance and joy.
